PATTI IN "LA TRAvIATA."

PATTI IN "LA TRAvIATA."
Mme Adelina Patti sang last night TO wha'
was probably the most distinguished and ap-
preciative audience that has ever been gathered
together at Albaugh's. Verdps ia Travlata"
is well known to all music lovers, and those
who witnessed the production Of the same
last night probably may never see 1t In such
strong cast again. Sgnor Vicini, with his
beautiful tenor. sang to perfection his several
songs, "Libiamo dc Lieti," "Di Mie. Bollentl
Spirit," ana 20 Milo RimorsO." II Is not neces.
sdry TO say that Nine. Patti sang each aud
every note with that sweet periectness that has
won her so many admirers and made herself
SO universally and popularity known. In the
dying scene one can scarcely conceive OF any
thing more sympathetic than the way she
rendered the "Addlo del Passato" In re-
sponse to the great applause following the
sang "Home, Sweet Home" in such beautl.
inl manner that II those who heard u forgot
1t had "whiskers." II will be generally con-
ceded that Patti in La Traviata" last night
was the most enjoyable engagement witnessed
htre for years, and we hope that this may not
be positively her last appearance" before her
friends at the national capital.

Lailerty only paid him 90 cents, The witness
paid the difference himself, so that Mr Tai
Mr.. W. b. Weller made the objection that
Mr.. Latisrty was not buyer, that he simply
paid him 50 cents. He thought If the hay was
to be appraised by any middle man he should
be appointed by the commissioners.
